Badajoz, the romance and tranquility of the ancient city at dusk

Badajoz is located on the border between Spain and Portugal. The city gradually developed during the Islamic period in the eighth century AD, and in the eleventh century it became a small Islamic country named Badajoz. The city's name is still used today. This border city is also the site of many fusions of Islam and Catholicism. When Portugal belonged to Spain from 1580 to 1640, it was also set as a temporary capital. Spain often welcomed Portuguese princesses here. It was also the place where Portuguese and Spanish cultures met. At sunset, walk up the city wall. There are no crowds of tourists here. Here you can quietly overlook the scenery of the old city of Badajoz. On the banks of the GUADIANA River, at sunset, you can experience the remains of the fusion of medieval Islam and Catholicism. Route method: Locate the Archaeological and Historical Museum or the Alcazaba Castle, walk to the bottom of the city wall and go up the steps. It is better at sunset. Then go down the steps from the city wall door opposite the Archaeological Museum and walk to ALTA Plaza. After taking pictures, go straight from the right-hand alley to Badajoz Cathedral Square. Then go straight to the center of Badajoz from the alley in front of you to find a local restaurant for a meal. The city walking tour takes about one and a half hours to fully appreciate this old border city. Badajoz Badajoz Province
